I have been using it for a few years now. First cast out of the gate with it I nailed a good fish at Lake Fork on one so its been a sentimental favorite since . They were not hitting a regular buzzbait so I gave it a try. Have had good success with it since. You can buy the replacement baits for it as well but I usually just use on MB Hazendong Shad on them. I have not tried a horny toad on one but I can't imagine it not working. May give it a try myself.
